Numb again

Numb again

I have tried contacting online support but everything is unavailable or offline .

I was raped 7 years ago and things happen so I made myself numb and supprised everything. I learned about the breathing techniques as well as the 5,4,3,2,1 tool. Tonight it's not working . I am having flash backs like crazy and I can't get my mind and body to calm down to relax and sleep . At this stage I am in for a night of night terrors and I can't do that again tonight. I am shutting down again but not sure how to stop it .

Re: Numb again

I have been feeling unwell since yesterday @Pollyotter I had hoped it would pass once I got to work and got moving but I felt even worse so did not have a choice but to come home. Pretty much just been work, work and more work for me since school went back 2 weeks ago. It is hard work but going well. I am actually enjoying my job again - teaching Art now 3 days a week and on class 2 days - so although it is a lot of extra work I am coping okay so far.

I read you had a fall - how are you feeling today?

Re: Numb again

I have occasional pain because of my IBS @Pollyotter but usually pretty well managed with diet and medication. Not so good the last 2 days and hoping that is all it is and it improves today.

Yes clumsy of you but it happens. Look after yourself and see a doc if you need to Hon
